This delicious penne is made by a passionate Italian producer, Castagno Bruno, who uses Sicilian durum wheat, which they mill themselves.
The pasta they make is then slowly dried to retain oodles of flavour and more nutrition.
It's a stunning penne, worthy of a good, yet simple sauce. We love it tossed warm with our fresh basil pesto.
Castagno Bruno makes stunning dried pasta using purely Italian, organic durum wheat that's grown in Sicily. “We mill all the wheat ourselves to obtain the whole durum wheat semolina we use to make our pasta. So, we're involved in the process from ground up.” Once the pasta is made using their own wheat, they dry it slowly at very low temperatures to help preserve most of the nutritious properties and the typical taste of their home grown wheat.

How to prepare the perfect dish of Italian pasta:
1. Use a large - based cooking pot
2. Use one litre of water for every 100 gram of the pasta you're going to cook
3. Use 10g of coarse - grained salt for every litre of water
When the water starts to boil add the salt and pasta. Stir the pasta, increase the heat and cover the pot with a top to reintroduce the process of boiling. Stir the pasta now and then and cook it according to the cooking time indicated on the packaging (6/7 minutes). The cooking time begins when the water with the pasta in the pot starts boiling. Taste the pasta now and if you consider it to be ready add a glass of cold water into the pot which will stop the cooking process while sieving. Add a sauce of your choice!
